…esembles SoulCycle’s (“book a bike”). So does the layout of MNDFL’s online registration portal. Both SoulCycle and MNDFL project a happy-healthy-community vibe, merging the accept-all-comers language of a millennial church with the prices of an upscale nail salon. And the origin story is basically the same: two people with complementary expertise get together; while chatting, they wonder why a certain service isn’t available, and they hatch a busi…

…es her all the more relatable. Finding small pieces in archives—her school registration, for example, the fact that the Gestapo notes she kept a microscope with her as she moved from place to place to place, and all her books, all these things add up to painting her picture.

By Carlos Wilton

…. You shot four bullets into him, sir. He was just getting his license and registration, sir.” We feel her exquisite pain: emotionally, yes, but also morally.

Why Being “Faith Friendly” Isn’t Worth It For Democrats

By Daniel Schultz

…ns are more actually more likely to be active in politics. They hold voter registration drives and letter-writing campaigns. They also talk more about politics in the pulpit. (They don’t generally make partisan suggestions in worship, though.) What risk is there to the faith of Democratic voters by engaging religion in partisan battle? Is that risk worth it?

…p’s most blatant attack on this bedrock principle: his suggested mandatory registration of American Muslims, and a blanket ban on entry into the U.S. of anyone who practices Islam. Instead, Perkins suggested that “President-elect Trump must direct that religious freedom be properly integrated into all foreign policy of the United States at every level.” (Emphasis added.)
